Query Filespace

The query filespace command displays a list of file spaces for a node. The file spaces are stored on the IBM Spectrum® Protect server, or inside a backup set from the server when the backupsetname option is specified. You can also specify a single file space name to query.

A file space is a logical space on the server that contains files you backed up or archived. A separate file space is assigned on the server for each node at your workstation from which you back up or archive files.

A separate file space is assigned on the server for each file system at your workstation from which you back up or archive files. The file space name is the same as the file system name.

Windows operating systems A Unicode file space name might not display correctly if the server is unable to display the Unicode name. In this case, use the file space identifier (fsID) to identify these file spaces on the server. Use the query filespace command with the detail option to determine the fsID of a file space.
